Colonel BURNasked the Parliamentary Secretary of the Ministry of Munitions what was the reason for the retirement of Mr. G. W. Currie, late Member for Leith Burghs, from the post of financial adviser to the Ministry of Munitions; and will the list of contractors be published who were struck off the rolls for various shortcomings?
Mr. HOPEMr. G. W. Currie has, during the past twelve months, been acting as assistant and adviser to the Controller of Factory Audit and Costs. He was never appointed financial adviser to the Ministry, and so far as I am aware he has not severed his connection with the Department. As to the second part of the question I must refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answers I have already given.
